  1. I choose more often to not log in lately. And I must say, that improves my SL a lot. Just standing around is not the answer to the questions of life IMHO.
  2. Standing around on a platform or standing around at the ground level? Mmm, maybe standing around in my Belli home?
  3. But there is already a new lawsuit, so Christmas is just around the corner. Only 53 days left. Mmm. I better check if I still have enough tinsel. And where is my recipe for the ginger bread Christmas pudding? Wait a sec: Only 16 days until good old St Nicolaas arrives in the Netherlands. Wait, wait, wait, there is more..... in 8 days the Carnival season starts. And I don't have tickets for the opening ceremony!! Yikes..... Sold out.
  4. The last two weeks I got my covid booster, a pneumococci shot and the yearly flue jab. Peeve: Now I have to deal with all these implanted 5G antennas and signals. 😁
  5. "Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting" - The Beatles, from the song We Can Work It Out. Obvious for the whole SL experience IMHO.
  6. . Ah well.... billing and the commission fee handling works perfect all the time. That is at least something.
  7. So you are a profile reader pro, that is peeved if someone reads your own profile? Even declare that stalking! Don't color me surprised. Again. 🙄 No need to go in world to read someones profile BTW. It is right there on the SL webside for every member. Stalking, Tsk. Don't forget to put me next to Paul. I like to be in goot companie.
  8. This. ^^^^^^ We will find out soon enough. "Never question moderation", covers everything Lindens or Moles do. So basically no other reasons needed. I think it was Dakota trying to be nice and point Count in the direction of the Jira.
  9. Peeve: Does it really matter? Rule of thumb: Lindens and Moles can close a thread at whim. There is such a bunch of rules and regulations, there always fits one. Another Peeve: Really discussing something is hardly possible. Why are there so many nice people left on the forums that make me come back every time?
  10. Dakota locked a thread about bots. (the one with the nice bells in the title). It was formulated that way in his reasoning for locking the thread. Ah... others beat me to it.
  11. Gaming the system is as old as the grid. And there is no reason to believe that will end any time soon when LL would offer new rules and regulations about just standing around (whatever they might be, no idea personally). Creative people will always create new possibilities to try to pull things in their direction.
  12. I saw this for a short while in my own profile: "I don't eat sardines, so it has been a long time since I opened a can for my mother back in the days. I have no clue about the modern situation of can opening. In the supermarket across the streat they sell cornet beef sliced an packaged just like other cold cuts. So no hasle to open cans for that either." Now it is gone again. One can find the strangest things in SL profiles at times.
  13. Found in someones profile: "I enjoy reading profiles and probably have already read yours. You should know, however, that I note spelling and grammar errors and, yes, I will judge you, especially if your profile is blank." Don't coluor me surprised, if this member of the gramar and zpelling police wants to take controll on these forums too.
  14. Are there really other things to do in SL or is that just a meme?
  15. Pro tip: If it bugs you that much, start you own forums. Control it until goes no more. Kudos for you then. Be the man in charge. Swing the ban hammer until the handle breaks, if you like. But this is a public forum for all SL users. Provided as is. Users have limited rights, the way they are provided is not our right to chose. We can only control what is programmed and set open for use. We can even only discuss what LL is comfortable with. The only thing one can do is vote with ones feet and don't use these forums if one has major problems and peeves with how they function. It is a take it or leave it situation. People here have pointed out what is possible and what not. Now it is up to you to accept it and stay or don't accept how it works and leave. And endless continuing back and forth with the same arguments, doesn't solve anything. It only jacks up the post count, for whom is interested in that kind of stuff.
  16. Oh yes I know where you are talking about. A few months ago half the forum ladies were after me, because I dared to say something different from the general opinion in one of those "Male - Female" threads that pop up every now and then. Only to find out a few pages further in the discussion, that the stuff I was saying was said by someone else in slightly different wording and accepted. Most of the time I just leave the tread. But in that case I was even haunted in the Pet Peeve thread. You know how that works sometimes.... I decided to leave the forums for a few days. As I said earlier in this thread, one doesn't need to win the Internet all the time.
  17. It all depends on what one finds abusive and what not, indeed. And yes, I agree that not all show their chocolate sides all the time. Heck, most off us don't do that 24/7. Everyone has bad hair days I guess or is over sensitive about certain subjects. When one wants to participate on whatever forum, it is always a game of give and take IMHO. There is simply no such thing as a perfect forum. Sadly George Orwell was right when he let the pigs alter one of the commandments in Animal Farm towards the end of the book: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more than equal others". That is basically how it works everywhere. RL, SL, forums....
  18. Yes, most people prefer to call it renting or leasing. One has to "buy" the land though most of the times to get terraform, ban and building rights etc. (I had to pay a whopping 40 L$ to purchase the land) The biggest part of the rental fees goes into the pockets of LL too, just like tier.
  19. Some merchants are very strict in the times for sales, others not so much. Some even leave the promo open for the rest of the week although the sale is officially closed already. It almost seems that some merchants don't grasp the idea behind promotions too well.
  20. There are no real abusers on these forums. There are sometimes trolls on the loose, but they lose interest very quickly in general. My two general tips: 1. Use your scroll wheel on the mouse if you don't want to read postings from certain people in a thread. Putting people on ignore only makes the threads harder to read. And people who are a pain in the *ss in one thread, can have an interesting opinion in another thread. I never have someone on ignore, but I scroll past some more than once. 2. And if a thread turns sour, just tiptoe out. Continuing in such a thread most of the times leads to nothing Sometimes I forget my own second rule, but most of the times it works perfectly. One simply doesn't have to win a discussion or participate in every thread. Agree (for yourself) to disagree works perfect most of the time for me.
  21. I would IM them, that my minimum consultancy fee is 15,000L$ for 30 minutes and then ignore them and go on with my life. Fun aside: Only thing that might work is switching to an alt, but it only takes one mutual friend to blow that cover again too. Sad that this happens in your SL, Subscribedd.
  22. I only became premium member when I decided to create and build for Bellisseria. I need a Belli home for precise measurements and fine tuning. All the years before that I was a "free" account who exclusively rented on private land for my store and housing. I'm no mainland fan at all. If one doesn't need the premium perks there is totally no need to take a premium membership. One can perfectly spend their Linden dollars without that extra tenner a month. I just bought a private land parcel again today. Of course no premium needed. Only L$ for the tier/rent.
